I just had the universals replaced on my '03 Dodge 2500 P/U and asked the repairman why he had to remove the spare tire to make the repair. To my surprise, his reply was that he did no such thing and there was no tire or rim there when he put the truck up on the lift. I have no clue as to where or when this tire was stolen because the thief lowered the cable, removed the tire and raised the cable so it wouldn't be noticed. Thank God I never needed the spare while towing or just driving the truck. After purchasing a new tire and rim I also bought and installed a lock system through it all to prevent this from happening again and have made it a habit to just look under the truck once in a while. I hope this helps someone before they get stuck on the side of the road.
